Chapter 853
Xavier frowned, clueless about what Jonathan was getting at.
Jonathan stood up, “I’m not one to harp on the past, but I’d appreciate it if Mr. Flemmings would stay away from Estelle in the future. I’m taking Norah with me, and I won’t forget that you saved her from Nicolas.”
Xavier looked up at him, “I’m not sure what you’ve heard, Mr. Lamont, but if you fancy Estelle, then trust her!”
“That’s between me and her!” Jonathan retorted, turning to leave.
Norah knew it was time to go. She thanked Xavier, Damian, Zachary, and the others, “I appreciate your kindness these past days. I’ll come to see you guys again.” Damian, Zachary and the rest were reluctant to see her go, “Norah, whenever you’re craving barbeque, come to our place. We’ll stuff you full for free!”
With teary eyes, Norah nodded and tried to smile.
Turning to Xavier, she was clearly sad to be leaving, “Take care of yourself and cut down on the smoking.”
She then forced a light–hearted smile, “Don’t celebrate my departure just yet. I might pop up again one day!”
Xavier felt uneasy, but simply nodded, maintaining his usual cool demeanor. Seeing that he didn’t bid her goodbye, Norah was a bit disappointed. She turned to catch up with Jonathan..
As they watched her go, Zachary and the others couldn’t help but sigh.
Xavier sat smoking, his eyes shrouded in gloom amidst the curling smoke. With Norah gone, the barbecue place suddenly felt desolate and empty.,
Just before clocking out, Estelle received a call from Jonathan. He was in a meeting and asked Millard to pick her up.
Estelle didn’t mind, “I can get home by myself, no need to bother Millard.”
“No!” Jonathan answered, then finally looked up at her.
Estelle sensed something was off, “What’s wrong?”
Jonathan slowly said, “Norah has been working as a waitress at Xavier’s restaurant. Why didn’t you tell me?”
Estelle was taken aback, “Norah likes the vibe at the barbecue place and was worried you guys would stop her if you found out. That’s why she didn’t want me to
say.”
“What kind of vibe?” Jonathan narrowed his eyes, his tone icy, “A vibe where she mixes with a bunch of men?”
